READING, Pa, Dec. 28.-There will be
no strike OF Reading railroad employees in
this city. About $500 men are employed
in all the company's shops here. They
held meeting yesterday but came to no
definite conclusion. Another meeting was
held this afternoon. 1t lasted for some
hours and there WAS much public epecula
tion aa to what would be the result. It
has been known for aome days that there
was a conservative element in Reading.
which thought atrike .ill.advlsed and
and not Sustained
by public opinion, The convention WAS
composed Of machinists, car.shop hands,
car inspectors, blacksmishs, engineers.
and mon employed in every department
of trafac on the Reading road, and ali
residents in this city. After q FREQ ex-
pression OF opinion 1t WAS decided by a
large majority not to engage in the strike,
on the ground that 1t was premature, too
haety.and entirely local in its character,
and should have been confined to
Port Richmond alone. It was re-
solved. however, that II the mansEers OF
the strike should order it's continuance
elsewhere to give it all the financial eup-
port possible. General Manager McLsod
was promptly informed OF the conven-
tion's action, and messages containing
the neVs flew over the wires tonight
whereyer there is Knight Of Labor AS
aembly. Mr.. Mcleod regards the
action Of the company's men residing at
Reading as STRAW, showingwhich way the
strike will turn, but everywhere else go
far the men remain solid for strike. The
officials here were busy to-day employing
men 10 move traffic tomorrow, and several
hundred were shipped tonight to various
points where they will be needed In the
morning, The officials claim that they
have enough hands to have everything
